According to the YouTube video you posted, The Shaggs were voted #3 best band in the world in a Norwegian newspaper in April 1988. Then again, considering all of Norway avoids vowels like the plague, I don't have much confidence in their assessment.

The alt-text link (octopuspie.com/worstmusic.png) doesn't work anymore. Could you put it back up please, Meredith? (Not that I have any plans on using it…it just seems incomplete and misleading for the alt-text to mention a link that no longer works.)

I [tried] to listen to the song, "the philosophy of the world". I really TRIED. The 3 of them aren't at the same tempo, the singer is off key, and maybe 1 guitar is off key. I apologize, The Shaggs, but I can't stay for more than 40 seconds of the song. Oh man! Heh, heh! 😀
